FATE MAP
... The fate of a cell describes what it will become in the course of normal development. The fate of a particular cell can be discovered by labelling that cell and observing what structures it becomes a part of. When the fate of all cells of an embryo has been discovered, we can build a fate map, which ...

... 2. Output pathways: Output signals emanate from the GPi and the SNr (Fig. 6). The cells providing these output projections are all GABAergic and tonically active, with a mean firing rate in excess of 40 Hz. The output, therefore, can be considered to be vigorous, continuous and inhibitory. The GPi ...
